- metallic ions onto the nanogel and the subsequent reduction [22][23]. In recent studies, in situ reduction of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) has been explored to enhance synthetic efficiency and streamline procedures by employing disaccharides such as lactose [24][25]. However, the potential of monosaccharides
Multiscale modelling of biomolecular corona formation on metallic surfaces
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2024, 15, 215–229, doi:10.3762/bjnano.15.21
- modelling of the interaction between various surfaces, that is (100), (110), and (111), of fcc aluminum with the most abundant milk proteins and lactose. Our approach combines atomistic molecular dynamics, a coarse-grained model of protein adsorption, and kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to predict the
- protein corona composition in the deposited milk layer on aluminum surfaces. We consider a simplified model of milk, which is composed of the six most abundant milk proteins found in natural cow milk and lactose, which is the most abundant sugar found in dairy. Through our study, we ranked selected
- proteins and lactose adsorption affinities based on their corresponding interaction strength with aluminum surfaces and predicted the content of the naturally forming biomolecular corona. Our comprehensive investigation sheds light on the implications of aluminum in food processing and packaging
Silver nanoparticles loaded on lactose/alginate: in situ synthesis, catalytic degradation, and pH-dependent antibacterial activity
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2023, 14, 781–792, doi:10.3762/bjnano.14.64
- ionotropic gelation utilizing the biodegradable saccharides lactose (Lac) and alginate (Alg). The lactose reduced silver ions to form AgNPs. The crystallite structure of the nanocomposite AgNPs@Lac/Alg, with a mean size of 4–6 nm, was confirmed by analytical techniques. The nanocomposite exhibited high

Keywords: alginate; bacterial activity; catalysis; lactose; silver nanoparticles; synthesis; Introduction
- nanocomposites using saccharides, such as alginate, cyclodextrin, and lactose. This method allows for the loading of metallic ions onto the nanocomposite, followed by their reduction to nanoparticles [36][37]. The nanocomposite matrix can release silver in appropriate environments, exhibiting pH-dependent
Recent advances in green carbon dots (2015–2022): synthesis, metal ion sensing, and biological applications

- , and green synthesis strategy to prepare CDs by using whey (a major dairy waste). NMR analysis showed that during pyrolysis, polymerization of lactose, which is the main component of the green source used, takes place [69]. Sharma et al. reported Nigella sativa seeds for the preparation of CDs that act
Enhanced antineoplastic/therapeutic efficacy using 5-fluorouracil-loaded calcium phosphate nanoparticles
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2018, 9, 2499–2515, doi:10.3762/bjnano.9.233
- for hepatoma targeted delivery of docetaxel with lactose as the targeting molecule [7]. Curcumin-loaded organically modified silica nanoparticles (ORMOSIL) were studied to check the potential anticancer property of ORMOSIL nanocarriers [8]. However, in some instances, after nanoparticle formation, the
Multiwalled carbon nanotube hybrids as MRI contrast agents
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2016, 7, 1086–1103, doi:10.3762/bjnano.7.102
- [32]. Lactose (Lac) was coupled with glycine (Gly) in the Maillard reaction. This biocompatible scaffold was used for co-precipitation of SPIO from iron(II) and iron(III) chlorides. Liu recently presented the possibility of incorporating SPIO into the oMWCNT [33]. This was achieved by the following
Green and energy-efficient methods for the production of metallic nanoparticles

- the case of fructose (161 nm) are three times more than that in the case of other sugars (47–57 nm) [57]. In a similar study, they used galactose and lactose as reducing agents and achieved Ag NPs with the average particle size of 50 and 35 nm at 0.005 M ammonia concentrations [65]. In another work
